Hi, I've done a search but was overwhelmed, so excuse the question...
What's the best pedal parts resource for rehousing projects? Knobs, enclosures and such...
I am in Europe, but US links would be great too!
Thanks!

-By the way, this site is great - have already missed out on one night of sleep...

Futurlec are your best bet for a good cheap deal... http://www.futurlec.com/ Shipping takes about 2 weeks to europe but they have good cheap prices and shipping is no more than it would be in your own country usually but they don't have much in the way of enclosures.

Located in Germany I think is banzai music... http://www.banzaimusic.com/ but I hear bad stories about them, wether or not they're founded I don't know.

The Best selection of Enclosures & Knobs that has reasonable shipping is probably www.Smallbearelec.com in the U.S but the prices may be a bit higher as will the shipping.

Someone might know some other better EU suppliers than me though.

Thanks! Banzai have an impressive list in stock. Maybe I will give them the benefit of the doubt and report back...
Thanks again.

The stories were only delivery taking longer than hoped and orders being a bit wrong but I think the problems were resolved anyway so yeah, i'd give them the benefit of the doubt.

I personally love futurelec. Only had one problem tho when I ordered 5 resistors and got 50. But I'm not complaining ;)
I use www.pedalpartsplus.com for smaller orders

You probably did the same thing I did when I almost made a mistake with my order the first time I used them, but if you look at the resistor page, it says the prices are for quantities of 10, they don't do singles they're just really cheap.
